Nice! Yeah silver is a nice color that you can get away with not looking dirty. Black on the other hand might look dirty an hour after you wash it lol

New Shifter, Shift Boot, and Shift Knob



Definitely over the top in regards for the cost for a 14 year old economy vehicle, but this has changed how much I enjoy driving my trusty old Fit so much. 10/10.

Honestly in my opinion it's these little things that keep an older car feeling new and prevents me from feeling stagnant about what I drive. I think it looks great!

That's the truth, and over the years I've spent so little on my Fit that I really don't mind. Genuinely has transformed my enjoyment overnight. Well worth it, IMO.

Looks like a nice match for the vehicle, what shift knob and boot is this? Thanks. Nevermind, a few days of searching showed me it's the billetworkz.

Yep! It's the Billetworkz and the boot is from an Etsy seller, "LocallyHatedWrapz".

So far, so good with the whole setup. It's made driving the Fit way more fun.

Now I just have to wait until January for my new suspension to get in stock... Ugh.

By the time I’m done, I’ll have created an unofficial Fit TypeR.

Meanwhile….red emblems on (not quite) Championship White.

Did you get your inspiration from Jack McNeill on Youtube?

New Wheels, Tires, and Springs!


I got impatient waiting for my backordered Bilstein B14's to be restocked, so I had some Tein S Tech springs thrown on to get the fitment right for these 15" Enkei RPF1s. It's honestly so nice that I'm questioning needing the B14s.

For me, it's the perfect combination of crisp handling but still comfortable on the road, and not dropped so much as to need any mods or invite scrutiny. Also have the Progress Rear Sway bar and Hybrid Racing shifter.

I've had this car for almost a decade and never did anything fun with it until now. A few more minor cosmetic upgrades and my 2011 will be complete!

After having owned a 2018 Sport with a 6 speed in the past, I finally bought another Fit! 2010 sport w/ a 5 speed.

When I bought it, the headlights looked like this...


So I used the Cerakote kit to clean them up and it came out awesome! Any of that remaining haze you see is inside the housing. Pretty dang good for like $16 from Home Depot.

I also ordered a Yonaka catback for it but it looks like it won't ship until later in the month.
